There are SERIOUS health benefits from them, much of which you can only derive from fruit.

Honestly, I forgot about all those things. Apologies.
I focused a lot more on the whole "sugar=absolute bad and should be avoided at all costs!".

In a word, insulin. Insulin resistance. Insulin is an effective fat building hormone. The future estimates of diabetes in the US are staggering, basically one in three Americans born today will become T2 diabetics.
Sugar is also addictive.
I eat donuts once a month or so, have dark chocolate bars once or twice a week, a Jack and Coke maybe twice a year, I do eat fresh fruit daily and coconut water couple times a week. Sugar from fruit like blueberries for example is combined with fiber to gradually hit your bloodstream, whereas skittles will just make your blood sugar levels explode then tank and build insulin resistance.
Insulin resistance can build to the point that your body is so used to elevated blood sugars that your body will actually break down muscle into sugar to maintain a high blood sugar, because that is now what your body considers homeostasis.

I'm not saying your lying but do you have a source for that last paragraph?
HAHAHAHA Internet tough guy is severely outmatched.Seriously-Dead, your post brings nothing to the table, where do you want to dweeb with a blog with 10 views?
OK his post still brings nothing to the table, don't care who he brings coffee to
Robb Wolfs Paleo Solution book, medical books, etc. Look up insulin resistance in any medical surgical book.
magick, I don't need a wiki page for insulin bro lol, I never said that all insulin does is build fat, pointing out the obvious link between sugar and insulin, is a good place to start when discussing the problem with sugar.
Seriously-Dead, your post brings nothing to the table, where do you want to start dweeb with a blog with 10 views?
When someone asks for a source, you'll gain much more credibility by actually providing a primary source - not a vague list including "medical books"/a book on a fad diet. .
I guess my first post in the diet/supplement forum struck a nerve with some of you people. Scottm, you don't seem like a real man trying to get personal and shit. You want to try and talk shit to a stranger online, shows what a bitch you are.
Attempting to apply logic that works for you but not when you attacked Seriously Dead's credibility, which would be the initial personal attack in this thread.
Listen kid, I'm a grown ass man with no time for your childish trolling. If you want to have intelligent discussions with adults based on scientific fact and data, lets enjoy some healthy debate. Otherwise stop with the ad hominem crap.
If you don't want to be strangers come say hi, I'll buy you a bus ticket:
Scott Massari
What makes it a fad diet and if it is in fact a fad diet what diet isnt? What diet would you suggest?
Scott I posted facts and you guys tell me I am full of shit and to go home. If he posted some facts instead of saying go home I would respect his credentials a little bit more.
Can we agree that sugar elevates your blood sugar? Excessive sugar is horrible for your blood vessels right? Can we agree that one in three Americans will become type two diabetics? Can we agree that eating 150-170lbs of sugar a year is horrible for you? Can we agree that water is wet or do I need a reference for that too?

Other important point - Damage to blood vessels, in particular, means no area is safe from too much sugar. http://www.webmd.com/diabetes/how-sugar-affects-diabetes?page=2
